The city of Mumbai witnessed massive celebrations after Team India won the T20 World Cup 2024 by defeating South Africa. When the team returned from Barbados, they met the Prime Minister and then had a Victory Parade on Marine Drive in Mumbai. The players rode in an open-top bus, moving slowly through Marine Drive, greeted by thousands of fans wearing blue jerseys.
On the r/indiasocial subreddit on the social media platform Reddit, a cricket fan shared a touching story about finding a phone at Marine Lines during the Team India victory parade. The phone had a family photo attached to it.
The fan explained his problem, “What to do it has no network access so the owner can’t call me, maybe he blocked the device. I really wanted to help him but if I gave it to the police it would take a lot of time to reach him. He doesn’t have any emergency contacts either, the phone had no battery either. He tried calling me yesterday but I couldn’t do anything in the stadium and he hasn’t called me again maybe cause it shows no network available (sic).”

However, the guy eventually managed to get hold of the owner of the phone. He inserted the SIM card on his phone, got the phone number, searched it on Truecaller and found the email ID of the owner. That’s how he was able to track the person.
